Very cozy work experience

Pros

Boss was very nice and communicative (ymmv: bosses will vary depending on the owner). Schedule was flexible and work was very tame and manageable compared to a larger store like Target. Workload was very doable within a shift, which allowed time for things like helping the team working in other departments, processing nearly expired-expired items, zoning aisles, etc. I would have stayed longer had it not been for COVID.

Cons

The pay is bare minimum wage. The customers can be pretty aggressive and because the store is on the cheaper side of things, sometimes it can feel a bit sketch.

Toxic workplace environment Low pay-(not a livable wage) Monotonous boring work that will have you smacking your head against a brick wall.
